Being able to participate in politics and democracy is a privilege in itself, imo. Not as much as not having to do so anyway (under a democracy, dictatorships don’t count), but I still think it’s a privilege.

Not to brush off your problems, though. Sorry you’re dealing with all of that.

I agree, neither do i. I was talking about base vscode, but i don’t think it even matters anymore. There’s really no proper answer. Some people use it like a notepad, some people use it like a fully fledged IDE. I’m just tired of arguing over this, and i admit i had a bad take.

Fuck, you got me there.

I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I prefer how vscode does it. and i think you’re right.

I agree. I was mainly thinking of neovim, but i guess vim works in this example, too.

I was talking about the base editor itself, though. In the end it doesn’t even matter what we consider VSCode to be, i feel this thread has just devolved into arguing about semantics and bikeshedding, and there’s no correct solution.

I think i’ll just be deleting my main comment, admit I had a bad take and move on. i’m tired of arguing about this.

Not really. there’s VSCode itself, and then there’s the extensions on top of it. But my main point was how vscode wasn’t designed to be an IDE, just a customizable code editor. Like neovim or emacs, you could customize it to the point of being similar to an IDE, but they’re still not considered IDEs.

I don’t think it really matters, but the implication you can write a whole IDE in electron is just insane.

It is pretty pedantic, i agree. I don’t want to start an argument about something as pointless as this, though.

They also list vim and notepad++ as IDEs, pretty sure they just meant code editors in general.

Fucking NANO is on the list 😂

IDEs come bundled with tooling, such as debuggers, intelligent code completion, and OOTB language support, and language servers.

vscode out of the box doesn’t have any of these, you install them with plugins. jetbrains products, for example would be IDEs, but editors like vscode and neovim aren’t. Those are code editors.

vscode isn’t an IDE, but an actual IDE written in electron would be horrible.

I don’t want to argue about this anymore. I admit i had a bad take, and this whole thread is just arguing about semantics at this point. Does it even really matter if vscode is an IDE or not? If it works, it works.

Friendica is compatible with mastodon’s api, so you can use the mastodon app. That’s the only way i think of on iOS :/

You can also use the website as a PWA, safari has partial PWA support

That’s generally how all services start out, though. It sucks, but you can’t just wait for a platform to get big, you have to actually use it, you have to be the change you want to see.

A big advantage of federation too is that all platforms can interact with eachother; a user on mastodon can interact with this post on lemmy, an iceshrimp user can interact with users on bonfire; etc etc. Platforms on the fediverse have the advantage of not needing to start from scratch.

And, there is nothing stopping them from using facebook alongside friendica, i use redlib when lemmy doesn’t have a community i’m interested in, for example (although i definitely main on lemmy). we don’t have to completely stop from using a platform, both is fine :)

That’s what they’re doing, though? They’re leaving facebook, and looking for an corpoless alternative.

Friendica is probably the best choice. It’s the most popular with the most servers and users, and is explicitly designed to be like facebook, and uses Activitypub.

Pleroma, judging from the FAQ; strives to be more like twitter. And as for diaspora, it uses its own protocol, so i’m not sure if it can federate with software that uses activitypub.

I see someone got banned by him 😂

Can’t forget his portrait of Baruch Goldstein.

having had a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish extremist terrorist and mass murderer

If only !privacy@lemmy.world, or better !privacy@programming.dev was more popular, i love !privacy@lemmy.ml but you have to tip toe around lemmy.ml’s rules to make sure you don’t get banned. I’m a socialist myself but banning someone for not being one off of a PRIVACY community is fucking ridiculous 🤦‍♂️

UAE when premarital sex 😡😡😡 (its immoral and a sin, to the chopping block) UAE when literal fucking genocide 😊😊😊😳

Great, just now they declared it a genocide?

I’m assuming france, UAE and israel will now have consequences for backing the RSF… right?
